James F. Finlay was a Scottish rugby union player.[1]

He was capped four times for Scotland between 1871–75,[1] including the first ever international.[2] He also played for Edinburgh Academicals.[1]

He was the brother of Arthur Finlay and Ninian Finlay who were also capped for Scotland.[1] They all appeared together once in 1875, in the 0-0 draw against England at Raeburn Place: James winning the last of his four caps, while Arthur and Ninian gained their first caps.[3]
